Not For Trout 
Gang-Hooks Use Illegal 


Though few Alberta anglers seem 
to be aware of it, the popular “Devon 
Minnow” and other spinners using 
gangs of hooks are illegal when used 
for taking trout and grayling in Al- 
berta waters. 

Provincial fishery officials have 
discovered numerous anglers using 
such spinners, and when it was point- 
ed out that the practice was illegal, 


they generally replied that they did 
not know it. 
Lures using gang-hooks are qui.¢ 


legal in fishing waters not inhabited 


by trout. Such lures can be used leg- 
ally in waters inhabited by pickere/ 
and pike,

in England that he had come to learn

Regardless of the truth or fal eness

ONTARIO “EAR-MARKS” 
FUNDS FOR HIGHWAYS 


For some years the Ontario govern- 
ment has “ear-marked” all motor rev- 
enues for highway purposes, it is 
pointed out by officials of the Alberta 
Motor Association. 

That province was thus enabled to 
spend millions of dollars on building 
surfaced highways, the outlays being 
augmented by reason also of borow- 
ings of capital funds. 

The consequence was that Ontario 
was able to make a strong bid for 
U. 8. tourist trade, while it also 
could captitalize on the dominion gov- 
ernment’s expenditure of $500,000 a 
year for its Travel Bureau work in 
striving to increase U.S. tourist trav- 
el in Canada. 

When the U.S. tourists surged in- 
to Ontario they spent millions of dol- 
lars buying primary products, such as 
eges, butter, bacon, cream, milk, veg- 
etables, from the farmers. 

So should Alberta, 


Pioneer Resident Archie McLean

gave good support to all local sports 
and helped in all community affairs. 
Sincere sympathy is extended to the 
bereaved family. 

After a wery brief illness, Archibald 
McLean, 63, died in a Calgary hospi- 
tal Friday. Born in Fifeshire, Scot-

pies pe Alberta, September 18th, 1941 


@ = 
(This is the first of a series of five impressions of the trip that these men, Montreal on a Sunday night in the 


articles written by Bruce M. Pearce, 
editor of The Simcoe Reformer, for 
member papers of the Canadian Week- 
ly Newspapers Association, in connec- 
tion with the recent tour of Eastern 
Canada military camps, munitions 
plants, R.C.A.F. Schools and naval 
yards, made by a group of prominent 
weekly, daily and trade newspaper 
editors and publishers. The first 
article is general in nature, summar- 
izing impressions of the trip and out- 
lining the various highlights encoun- 
tered en route. Subsequent articles 
will deal with the Army, the War In- 
dustries, the R.C.A.F. and the Navy). 
— By B.M. P. — 


On the morning of August 23rd last 
a group of nearly fifty representative 
Canadian newspapermen assembled in 
Hamilto, to commence a journey tha’ 
is probably without precedent in Can- 
adian journalism, 

Cn the night of August 31st, eight 
days ‘ater, they arrived in Mor real 
to complete the last leg of a trip 
which had taken them to the Atlantic 
coast and given them a complete pan 
orama of the great war giant which is 
rapidly taking form in Canada, 

Sponsored by the Tepartment of 
National Defence, the tour was init- 
iated primarily to give the editors an 
insight into Canada’s military and in- 
dustrial activity and to provide them 
Wth an enlightened conception of 
what is actually taking place in this 
country, with the thought that they 
would then be able to distuss more 
intelligently in their columns the var- 
tous phases of Canada’s war enter- 
prise. 

That the editors gladly embraced 
this unique opportunity may be taken 
for granted. Heretofore they had 
known ali too little of the inside 
etocy of the huge machine which con- 
stitutes Canada’s contribuiion to the 
(ight against Hitlerism. Not being in 
a position to inform their readers, the 
inajority were inclined to give voice 
to the growing impatience on the part 
of Canadians at the apparent lack of 
all-out effort Until the fall of France 
in June, 1940, it is probably true that 
Canada had done all too little. That 
is no longer true today. The truth is 
that Canada is rapidly shaping a for- 
midable war machine that will have a 
notable part in licking Hitler. In the 
short space of eight days, the Canad. 
ian editors were treated to a spectacle 
that not only literally opened their 
eyes but inspired pride and strength- 
ened faith in the part that Canada is 
playing and will play on an ever-grow- 
ing scale in aiding the Mother Country 
Everything Wide Open— 

Everything was thrown wide open 
to the prying eyes of insatiably cur- 
ious editors. Nothing was held back. 
We had with us Brigadier Kenneth 
Stuart, D. S. O., M. C., Vice-Chief of 
the General Staff, together with dist- 
inguished representatives of every 
branch of the service, including the 
Department of Munitions and Supply, 
as well as G. Herbert Lash, Director 
of Public Information and J. W. G. 
Clark, Director of Public Relations 
for Army and R.C.A.F., and members 
of their staffs. Their policy was that 
every bit of available information 
should be forthcoming. And it was. 
Nor did they place any restrictions on 
the contents of our stories aside from 
the wel-known rules of censorship. 

Not only did these men utilize every 
waking moment to answer the million 
questions levelledat them by guests, 
but they made sure that every Camp 
Commandant, every factory head and 
every officer revealed the whole show 
and held nothing back. At Ottawa 
the editors were entertained at a din- 
ner at which Hon. J. L. Ralston, Hon. 
C. D, Howe and Hon. C. G, Power 
were the principal speakers. The 
general impressfon was that these 
men were sincerely trying to do a 
job. They were frank in admitting 
their mistakes, and Hon. Mr. Ralston 
delared that one chief mistake was in 
having failed heretofore in letting the 
light flood into editorial minds that 
their readers, the Canadian public, 
might know the true story of this coun- 
try’s war achievement, 

A Real Achievement. . 

It is an achievement, too, as these 
articles aim to tell, not just an effort, 
a word that fails to give the true em: 
phasis. We iwould also add ‘that 
not once throughout the entire eight- 
day pilgrimage was the word ‘politics’ 
heard. The men who were who were 
our hosts, were far too intensely ab 
sorbed in the vital task of sharpening 
Canadas tools o'f war to worry about 
Politics. It was one of the lasting 


many of them dollar a year public 
servants, were out to do a job for 
Canada, that they were sparing neith 
«rc strength nor talent to perform that 
service, and that they were admir- 
ably fitted for the key posts which 
they occupied. The same applies to 
the industrial leaders, the military 
camp commandanrts, the chiefs of the 
navy and air force, with whom we 
came in contact. They gave the im- 
pression of being on top of their job 
and they inspired confidence by their 
brisk, alert and confident bearing. 
Many Canadian editors are resting 
more easily as a result of those con- 
tacts, 

Not a Joy-Ride— 

Where did we go? What did we 
see? What did we learn in those eight 
days? If any reader has the impres- 
sion that it was simply a joy-ride at 
government expense, we can only say 
that it was the most strenuous joy- 
ride that most of those editors had 
ever experienced. From 8 a.m. until} 
late at night we were walking miles 
through military camps, in and out of 
barracks, machine shops and _air- 
dromes, through huge munitions fact- 
ories, naval dockyards and arsenals. 
We were bounced over hill and dale 
in trucks, tractors, carriers, blitz bug- 
gies and many other of those frighten- 
Ing vehic'es which form the mechan- 
!zed and armoured army of 1941. (We 
saw not a single horse except ona 
back street in Halifax and we learned 
that only nine horses remain in the 
Canadian army and they are headed 
for the glue factory). We were driven 
about in open army trucks in weath- 
er that penetrated to the marrow; we 
were embussed and debussed until we 
loathed the sight of a bus; we were 
thumped by depth charges tossed 
from a destroyer on the broad Atlan- 
tic; we travelled some 3,000 miles by 
train and were finally disembarked in 


midst of a downpour of rain. We for- 
gave all except the sharp nudge of a 
heartless porter every morning at 6.30 
a.m. Yes, a joy-ride indeed! 
Highlights of the Tour— 

In concluding this initial article, 
just an outline of a few unforgettable 
highlights. There was the astonish- 
ing demonstration of tracked or arm- 
oured fighting vehicles and wheeled 
passenger or load-carrying vehicles at 
the General Motors proving ground 
near Oshawa, featuring movement ov- 
er the roughest ground which put the 
machines to the sternest test and 
which proved convincingly that Can. 
adian industrial genius is prepared to 
meet the challenge of mechanized 
warfare, There was the nocturnal visit 
to the National Steel Car plant at 
Hamilton where several thousand 
men are turning out artillery and an- 
tiaircraft shells, with the largest out- 
put of any similar factory in the Bri- 
tish Empire. There was a Sunday 
morning preview of that remarkable 
exhibit by the Department of Mun- 
itions and Supply at the Canadian 
National Exhibition, giving a vivid 
portrayal of the achievement of Can- 
ada’s war industries. At the Inglis 
plant in Toronto, apart from viewing 
the production of Bren machine guns 
in full swing, we were addressed by 
ajor Hahn, who earlier in the war was 
severely maligned by some sections 
of the press, but whose enterprise and 
ingenuity have created one of the 
most integral units in Canada’s war 
machine, 

Tanks, Planes, Guns. 

On we travelled to Camp Borden and 
(Petawawa, names inseparably link- 
ed with the Great War, but which 
‘have undergone tremendous expans- 
ion in teh past year, where impres- 
sive displays of Canada’s armed might 
were provided. In Montreal a proces-

TOWN COUNCIL MEET 


With a full Gokheis, and rather a 
short agenda, the meeting on Tuesday 
evening last was one of the shortest 
in some time, although one member 
rather upset the rest of the body when 
he announced that he had enough 
“material to take u at least two hours 
or so,” Concerning two proposals 
regarding the lower section of the 
Massey-Harris bui ding and the shed 
at the rear, powers were left in the 
hands of a committe of three coun- 
cilors to make such arangemenis as 
seem practical, after having looked 
he situation over, 

Provided the necesary requirements 
are met, the Coucil gave permission 
for one tax acount in arrears to be 
consolidated, 

The regular annual motion granting 
tax exemption to the local church par- 
sonages was passed, 

T..e financial statement showed that 
the Town is much be.ter of than at 
the same time last year. The pro- 
vincial inspector who felt that the 
Council did not spend sufficient time 
On these statements woud have been 
convinced o:herwise on Tuesday eve- 
ning. The councilors not only read 
the statements, but audited them, and 
proceeded to give the secretary a har- 
10wing time in explaining the fi:ures 
found on different sides o the sheet. 

A letter concerning memb:ersh'p in 
the Canadian Federation of Mayors & 
Muncipalities was referred to coun- 
cillors individuaaly, and they are ex- 
pected to have reached a decis'o1 by 
the next meeting. 

A letter received from the federal 
government anent Re-consecration 
Week was filed, as the program was 
practically over beofre anything could 
have been done regarding this. 

A complaint that air-rifies in the

Haste of some youngsters were caus- 
in ga good dead of iritation was refer- 
red to Constable .Rawsthorne. 

A suggestion from one ccuncillor 
concerning the speeding menace in 
towns was well received. A limit of 
twenty-five miles per hour fn the 
main highway passing tl rough towns 
was often considered unreasonable, he 
said, and the officers of the law fcund 
it a very hard matter to enforce. A 
more reasonable solution, he felt, was 
to raise the limit to thiry-five mph. 
and see that it was adhered to. Such 
a speed would probably be onsidered 
more reasonable by most drivers, and 
they might make an effort to stick 
to it. The suggestion was well re- 
ceived, and it was decided that at the 
next meeting of the Alberta associa- 
tion, it could be brought up and dis- 
cussed, 

A number of dogs having ben report 
ed as running loose without licenses 
jthe handyman was asked to impound 
cr eliminate the animals without fur- 
ther delay. 

Since the level of water in the park 
lake is very low, and remembering the 
low water level at the end of the sea- 
son last year, itwas decided t at an 
effort should be made immediately to 
se that a channel is dug from the- 
pump-house to the low water ara in 
the centre of the lake. 

The secretary was limstructed to 
obtain the relative costs of yellow 
paint for the marking of parking sites 
on the sidewalks. A check was ask- 
ed for on whether the road on Second 
Avenue could be improved. It was 
reported that the Railway Avenue sur- 
face was just about as good as the 
town’s machinery could get it. 

Accounts to the amount of sixty: 
two dollars were pased. 


FIRST CO-OPERATIVE HOUSE 


Fifteen Members wilt Make Effort To 

Reduce Cost of Living— 

coat 

Edmonton— In an effort to aille- 
viate to some extent the housing ait- 
uation caused by the transfer of the 
three university residences to the Ro- 
yal Canadian Air Force for the dura- 
tion of the war, 15 students at the Un- 
iversity of Alberta have organized to- 
gether to begin operation of the first 
co-operative house on the campus. 

By sharing all expenses of the 
house on a strictly cash basis, and al- 


so 9 em in the work of maintain- 
ing the house, they hope to reduce 
the cost of living and open the way 
to a spread of such co-operative hou- 
ses at the university. 

A summer committee in charge of 
Mr and Mrs R. Brown has been opera- 
ting during the holidays and the 
house will be ready when students be- 
gin returning next week. Each student 
shares in the cost of furnishing the 
house and also share in the work of 
making beds. waiting on tables and 
other household tasks.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AT. AT CRETE 


(Letter from G, J. Sugden, to his 
father, eldest brother of Mr Frank 
Sugden of Cheadle, Alta.) 

NX11145 G. J. Sugden, B Coy, 2-4 B 

A. I. F. Middle East Force, 

Dear Dad— 

No doubt the papers have to!d you 
much about the Crete turnout and it 
was certainly lively while it lasted 
and cocst friend Jerry enormous los 
ses in men and planes. The losses 
were so great that I feel sure that it 
will make him take a pull and in the 
meantime our air force should be able 
to have a hit back. As our p'anes 
were not operating on account of our 
air bases being too far away and the 
dromes in Crete too open to Jerry's 
bombing, you could say our losses in 
planes were nil, whereas Jerry must 
have lost hundreds. The Navy claim- 
ed 65 in one day and during the first 
two hours he was landing troops in 
our area | think they claimed to have 
brought down 17 planes by ground 
tire. As he was losing planes for many 
days before the troops were landed 
and every day after it would be very 
hard to estimate the total losses. 

Well to carry on from my last letter 
we had many day raids which com- 
menced at daylight and continued on 
nd off all day long. His bombers used 
to come over in flights of 15 and 20 in 
regular waves and there were often 
times when there would be 100 or 
more overhead all dropping bombs of 
every description. When they had us 
ed up all their load most of them 
would give us the once over with ma: 
chin® guns before leaving for their 
base for a fresh supply. On his big™ 
day when he finished up landing para 
chutists he had hundreds of planes 
overhead all day and it would be very 
bard for anyone to estimate what the 
number were except for the fact that 
London had not’ been experiencing 
any raids which pointed to the fact 
that his whole air force was having 
a slap at us. Even German prisoners 
we captured in Crete were surprised 
at the number of German planes in 
the sky. After this intense blitz and 
at about 3 to 4 p.m. over came. the 
troop carriers flying very low over 
the sea and began to empty out their 
troops from about 300 ft. They landed 
in three places in our area and two 
of the three were in the midst of our 
troops. There would be 17 to 20 in 
each machine and as’ the number

RECORD MEDAL YEAR 


Expected at Royal Mint After War 


London’s Royal Mint expects to 
turn out more medals in the year fol- 
lowing the present war than at any 
period in its history; and in an aver- 
age year it strikes some 34,000 of 
them and of decorations of all kinds. 
The Mint has been doing that contin- 


uously since 1643 when Charles I in- 
stituted the Forlorn Hope Badge. 
Meanwhile they are busy making 


not only the decorations awarded dur- 
ing the war to the fighting services 
but the George Crosses and George 
Medals now for the first time in his- 
tory awarded for valour to civilians. 

It was the King himself who decid- 
ed that the ribbon, which is blue, for 
the George Cross should be widened 
to the same length as that of the Vic- 
toria Cross. The monarch chooses all 
ribbons, and always has done so. He 
is assisted by a committee to make 
sure that a design has not already 
been used either here or by a foreign 
power, 

The rainbow hues of the Victory 
Medal ribbon, now familiar through- 
out the Empire, are the result of the 
deliberations of an inter-allied com- 
mittee who sat to think out a ribbon 
incorporating the colours of all the 
allied nations concerned in the last 
war. 

After the South African War, it was 
King Edward VII himself who decided 
that the colours of the Orange Free 
State should be those used for the 
King's Medal.

‘landea that day was estimated at 2000 
you can imagine how thick they were, 
We were not idle and everyone got 
to work and what with burning and 
crashing planes parachutes not open- 
ing and troops landing in trees and 
among our machine guns the slaugh- 
ter was rather great. Just near us one 
troop carrier crashed in flames with 
its full load still on board and a num 
ber of parachutists landed into the 
inferno. Not very pleasant for them 
but this saved us a lot of bother. Also 
Saw one whose parachute became en- 
tangled in a following plane and 
when last sighted he was heading 
back across the sea like a kit#. Quite 
a few were killed by their own planes 
running into them while still in the 
fir. Well this continued until dark 
when we estimated that in our area 
very few of our visitors were left 
and as we buried 1300 in this area 1 
should say most of them ‘were ac. 
counted for that day. During dark 
ness Jerrys who were still left con- 
aolidated their positions and were 
agatn reinforced daily by troop car 
riers. Right up to the time of leaving 
we were giving fhem a hell of a belt- 
ing but I understand the risk of get- 
ting supplies te us was not worth 
while and we had done our job by 
making such a mess of his picked 
men and planes. We had not had 
more than half a dozen men_ killed 
out of our Bn, the whole time we were 
on the Island and so you can judge 
how we had won such a victory in man 
power. 

Unfortunately a couple of boats 
were hit by bombs on the way over 
and this added muchly to our casual 
ties. We were taken off at night by 
our Navy and from what we _ have 
heard since it was twenty four hours 
after before Jerry found out that our 
positions were vacant. Unfortunately 
the boat I was on had to be abandon- 
ed in mid sea as it had been hit on 
the way over and the steering gear 
eventually gave out. However a Des- 
troyer pulled alongside and in ten 
minutes we had all been transferred 
and were on our way again. A)’ :

were not hit but a stick of bombs 
just missed by afew feet and I 
thought the water would never finish 
coming across the deck. I got wet 
through but as it was a fairly hot day 
did not mind that so much. The sail- 
ors gave us plenty of hot cocoa and 
tucker which was very much apprec- 
iated after two months on tinned 
scram and on top of that I was lucky 
enough to locate some good old O. P. 
rum. We reached Egypt without fur- 
ther incident and on the way were 
given hot tea, a meal, cigs and choc- 
olates before continuing per train to 
the camp. Reached camp for break- 
fast and then a bath and clean 
clothes, as the ones we were in were 
our only possessions and very dirty 
and lousy, it did not take long to don 
the new issue and throw away the old. 
Each man was then given a free can- 
teen ticket worth 5 pounds, paid and 
told there was plenty of Aussie beer 
at the Canteen. We had the next 24 
hours lying about helping to keep the 
beer industry going and then en- 
trained to our present rest camp 
where we are to be re-equipped and 
brought to full strength before having 
another crack at Jerry. Our first two 
nights here were devoted to sipping 
good ale but since then never a drop. 
Am hoping I will be lucky enough to 
get a couple of days or more leave as 
soon as they issue us with a leave, 
rig out and if so want to see Jerusa- 
lem. After arriving here we received 
mail and parcels and you could fit a 
canteen up with contents of the par- 
cels some of the lads got. They had 
been piling up since Christmas in 
some cases, hence the large amount.

THE WEEK IN EDMONTON 


(BY DAN E. CAMPBELL) 
(Director of Publicity) 


Girls Aircraft Classes— 

Two classes of 20 women students 
will be open for registrations within 
a few days at the Technical 


ing girls for special aircraft work. 
The course will last ten weeks. At the 
aircraft repair depot in Edmonton, 
there are about 100 vacancies for 
trained women and the demand is ex- 
pected to grow as activities increase. 
The course offered is designed to fill 
these demands. 
Advance in Cancer Treatment—- 
When this province is able to sup 
ply cancer sufferers with free hospi- 
talization and surgery in addition to 
the existing clinic services, “Alberta 
will become one of the leading world 
centres for the treatment of cancer.” 
This was told to doctors in annual 
convention at Edmonton by Dr George 
H. Malcolmson, renowned radiologist 
and director of the Provincial Diag- 
nostic Clinic. Dr Maleolmson said 
since establishment of the free clin- 
ics at Calgary and Edmonton, 803 per- 
sons had received treatment. “On'y 
500 who applied were suffering from 


cancer and 265 will receive treat- 
ments, 

Normal Schools Opened— 

Alberta’s Normal Schools opened 


Sept. 15, for students 18 years old and 
over, Younger students have been ask- 
ed to report September 22. Decision 
to open the schools was made after 
the provincial board of health had act- 
ed in the poliomyelitis situation, It is 
expected that students registered in 
Edmonton will number 310 and in 


Calgary, 215, a total of 525 for the 
province. Because of military needs, 


the schools proper will not be utilized 


and classes will be held in other 
buildings. 
Sleeping Sickness— 

For the information of the public, 


the Alberta Department of Health has 
issued a statement on sleeping sick- 
encephalomyelitis in horses 
and humans. A- summary follows 
There are two types, Eastern and 
Western, The Eastern type is caused 
by a distinctly different virus than 
the Western, Clinically, the Eastern 
s much more severe, A wide range of 
animals, including birds, may suffer. 
Man can contract the disease from an- 
imals. Biting insects may transmit it, 
as may horses by contact. 

Sleeping sickness takes about two 
weeks to materialize after exposure. 
It appears abruptly, usually with fev- 


ness, or 


er of 105 - 106 F and severe headache, 
or generalized aches and _ pains, 
cramps, vomiting, with or without 


bowel movements. Sleepiness sets in 
after three or four days. It is preced- 
ed usually by the excitement stage— 
irritability, restlessness, tremors, 
muscle twitchings, sometimes  delir- 
jum and convulsions. Light hurts the 
patient’s eyes, With the Western 
type, about 60 per cent will recover 
after the acute stage; 20 per cent will 
make part recovery over several 
years, Ten to 15 per cent of cases will 
prove fatal. 

@ Fire Prevention Week in 

will commence Sunday, October 5. 
@ Wages of truck drivers will be the 
subject of discussions to be held by 
employers and the Industrial Relat- 
ions Board of the province in Calgary, 
Lethbridge, Medicine Hat and Edmon- 
ton this month. Under the chairman- 
ship of Clayton Adams, the Board has 
won pay raises of $165,000 a year and 
last year collected $27,000 in back 
wages for workers. More than 7,300 
investigations were carried out in the 
same period. 

@Dept. Of Agriculture Notes— 
Alberta Seed Growers’ Association 

The Alberta Seed Growers Associa- 
tion Limited, announce the appoint- 
ment of D, O. Hedlin to the position 
of office manager, The A.S,G.A. with 
Head Office situated at the Terrace 
Building below the Legislative Build- 
ings in Edmonton, is a seed grower 
controlled organization engaged in the 
marketing and exporting of Alberta 
grown seed of all kinds. Individual 
growers and local co-operatives who 
have seed for sale may utilize the 
facilities offered by the organization 
in order to market their seed. 

Since the activities of the A.S.G.A. 
have been increasing steadily year by 
year, it was felt that a better service 
could be given to members of the 
Association by the appointment of an 
office manager. 

Mr Hedlin came first from a farm 
at Watrous, Sask. After attending the 
University of Sask. for two years he 
came to the University of Alberta, 
graduating from there in 1939 with a 
degree of B. Se. in Agriculture, From 
1939 until the present, Mr Hedlin had 
been employed by the Plant Products 
Division (Dominion Seed Branch) at 
Calgary. 

Hatchery Approval Policy— 
All chicks hatched by Commercial 


Canada 


School, 
Edmonton, for the purpose of train- 


Hatcheries in the Province of Alberta 
for sale must come from flocks that 
have been blood tested for Pullorum 
disease under the supervision of the 
Provincial Department of Agriculture, 
or if they come from R. O. P. flocks, 
they must be blood tested under the 
supervision of the Dominion Depart- 
ment of Agriculture. 

The cost for blood testng is 3c 
per bird and where retests are neces- 
sary the department, owing to the 
financial circumstances of many of 
the poultrymen, do the first retest free 
of charge. 

About the 15th of November, ap- 
proximately 1,000 turkeys — will be 
blood tested and banded under the 
Alberta Record of Merit policy and 
the same rigid requirements as for the 
poultry applies to the turkeys. 
Garden Clubs— Willingdon District— 

The District Office of the Depart- 
ment of Agriculture at Willingdon re- 
ports progressive interest by the farm 
girls of the district in Garden Clubs. | 
They were first organized in 1988 and 
at present, clubs are flourishing at 
Northern Valley, Myrnam, Shandro 
and Hiway. These clubs give atten- 
tion not only to horticultural matters, 
such as the home garden, floriculture 
and orchard, but also to various bran- 
ches of home economics and home 


improvement.

“THEY carry no weapons, wave no banners, 


chant no stately measures

little people of England. Pale clerks, laborers 
with stiff, ynarled hands; old fishermen and 
young mechanics; housewives, washer-women, 


nursemaids and chars, 


and tired children 


singing underground fit to break your heart. 
COTHEY climb to heights of glory as if born 
to sacrifice and heroism, scaling the peaks 
by humble paths and mean alleys which ‘turn 
to pits of flame; or attaining the summit of 
valor through dark and cruel descent into the 
icy waters of the sea, Like soldiers they have 
borne the shock of fire and shell; like sailors 
they have gone down unflinchingly to their 


death in shattered 


ships, and like aviators 


they have given their strength to rise ‘By 


Labor to the Stars’. 


“NO Abbey walls have spaceto record the 
deeds of these simple ones, gone sadly or 


gaily ‘to eternity. 


Their names shall 


not be 


graven on stone nor painted on glass; no Roll 
of Honor could set them forth, But the dust of 


England, the winds which 


whisper in her 


trees, the waves which beat upon her shores, 
shall vibrate with the passion of their cour- 
age, the splendor of their sacrifice. Each dawn 
shall tell how they arose in humble cheerful- 
ness to light their tiny corner of the earth 
with a candle of faith, each sunset shall be a 
flaming beacon to remind all men of their 
burning steadfastness, ”’

THE WHEAT HARVEST 


LREADY grain agriculturists are 
A suggesting for next year a further 
curtailment of wheat acreage to the 
extent of 65 per cent of this year’s 
acreage, We doubt the wisdom of this. 

Nature has this year taken a big 
hand in reducing the wheat harvest, 
from last year’s bushelage. Similar 
conditions may prevail next year. 

Also with or if the war 
through next year’s harvesting period 
—the European crop will be material- 
ly lessened. When Peace is again pro- 
claimed if Canada is in a position to 
supply wheat to the hungry millions 
it would be well. 

Furthermore with the influx of pop- 
ulation that is almost certain to seek 
homes in Canada, a heavy tax will be 


made on our surplus stores.

Refunding Consideration 


HERE opened in Edmonton Tues- 
T day a joint session of the Alberta 
Government and its Bondholders, with 
a view to formulating some refunding 


lasts 


scheme. 

While those who hold bonds will 
watch proceedings with a close per- 
sonal interest there is also another 
side which is a very forceful one and 
which will effect the people of Al- 
berta as a whole in a wery vital way. 

If a satisfactory plan can be arriv- 
ed at it will at once help restore to 
The Province the credit, from the 
lack of which Alberta greatly 
suffered. The housing problem alone, 
has lost to us many thousands of dol- 


has 


lars, 

Alberta is very rich in minerals of 
various kinds and other natural re- 
sources which only await the influx 
of more capital to which 
would make of our Province a thriv- 
ing hub of industry.

Canada’s War Effort 


F doubts exist in the minds of west-

an all-out effort to help Britain win 
the war, a visit to Eastern Canada 
quickly dispels it. The writer was re- 
cently one of a party of newspaper

toured Ontario, Quebec, New Bruns- 
wick and Nova Scotia, visiting muni-

ments of war. That is why strikes and 
slow-downs are so dangerous to the 
cause, for there should be no shirk- 
ers in this war if we are to preserve 
our mode of life against tyranny and 
Godless living. The young men we 
saw in the various training centres 
such at Brantford, Petawawa, Debert, 
and other training bases, inspired us 
with their studious enthusiasm to 
prepare themselves for active service. 
Army training is vastly different to 
what it was in 1914-18, The private 
soldier as well as the officer has to 
depend on his individuality and init- 
jative to a far greater extent. 


Hundreds of girls have taken the 
place of young men in the munitions 
plants, where working conditions are 
made as comfortable as possible. Par- 
ticularly in the production of small 
arms ammunition is the work of the 
girls greatly in evidence, and in their 
blue uniforms they seem to take pride 
in the fact that they are engaged in 
war work, though it does entail eight 
hours of standing or sitting at a mach- 
ine on a routine job. The industrial 
east is humming with war activity. 

Immense areas are given over to en- 
able operations to be carried on under 
active service conditions, and it was 
here that the effectiveness of armor- 
ed units, tanks, and motorized artil- 
lery was seen, Little wonder that Hit- 
ler made such rapid advances under 
such methods. Tanks, guns, shells in 
ever increasing numbers are pouring 
out of eastern plants, impressing one 
with the stern realities and necessit- 
ies of modern war to meet Hun fright- 
fulness, 

Corvettes, minesweepers, 
for the air force, all were seen in 
course of construction, and it made 
one realize that a mighty effort is be- 
ing put forth and paid for by a com- 
paratively small nation of approxim- 
ately eleven millions of people. Yet 
the effort must be maintained, the 
same as the “little people” in Great 
Britain are measuring up to the job in 
war production. It’s a travesty that 
this should be necessary in a so-called 
civilized age, yet if you have a mad 
dog attacking you, the only method 
of defence is to knock him out as 
quickly as possible, and render him 
incapable of further harm. 

A climax to the eight days’ tour was 
the day with the navy. Historic old 
Halifax is the focal point for war sup- 
plies and troops. Here we were given 
an insight into the perilous work of 
the sailors who not only man the war- 
ships, but those gallant merchant 
marine officers and men who face 
death every time they leave port for 
the other side of the Atlantic, After 
lunch on that battle scarred destroy- 
er, H. M. C. S. Restigouche, we were 
divided into two parties, and went to 
sea on a four hours’ trip on two of the 
destroyers which were turned over by 
the United States to the British Navy. 
These swift vessels are manned by 
Canadian crews and employed in con- 
voy duty. The thrill of depth charges 
was experienced, and the effective- 
ness of a smoke screen was seen, be- 
hind which warships can manoeuvre. 
A pleasing incident was a dinner giv- 
en in Admiralty House in the evening 
as a conclusion to the day with the 
Navy, when we met Rear Admiral 
Bonham-Carter, of the British Navy, 
and Commodore Jones, of the Canad- 
ian Navy. And what do you think was

uppermost in the British admiral’s 
mind in the course of conversation? 
—a baseball game which he had seen 
that day and over which he was very 
enthusiastic. It showed that even ad- 
mirals as well as able seamen are as 
equally interested in sport and rather 
than talk shop will talk of every- 
thing else. Such is the spirit that an- 
imates our fighting forces. Their mor- 
ale is “top hole.” We who are not in 
the fighting forces should be willing 
to put forth every effurt to back 
them up to ensure victory. To give 
them the tools we must raise the 
money to pay for them.

PIGS IS PIGS 


: Ae hog, the domestic animal for so 
long a time spoken of in terms 
that did not savor of the highest res- 
pect, is now climbing the ladder of 
economic prestige and is very close 
to the top most round. 

To supply the increasing demands 
for bacon in Britain, Canadian farm- 
ers are increasing their stocks to 
supply this demand. 

Hon. Jas. Gardiner, Federal Minis- 
ter of Agriculture has contracted for 
600,000,000 lbs of bacon to be deliver- 
ed between October 1941 and Octob- 
er 1942. This will require the raising 
of 5 1-4 million hogs. The home mar- 
ket requires over 3 million hogs per 
year— hence the total number will 


‘require some 8 1-4 million. 


Three and a half years ago Canada’s 
hog population was about 3 1-2 mil- 
lion. 

The hog market 1Is_ replacing the 
wheat market in Western Canada, in 
bringing home the bacon in a_ very 
substantial way. 


Rabbits ; 


For some years past a Toronto fam- 
ily has been camping out at Bolton, 
Ont., where the two sons of the tent- 
ing group have become well known. 
Recently the boys—one about twelve, 
the other fourteenish—called on a Bol- 
ton resident asking permission to 
catch rabbits on his property. We 
like rabbit stew for dinner, they ex- 
plained. The local landowner said it 
was okay by him, but how did they 
propose to catch their rabbits? Did 
they use snares, or what? With com- 
plete confidence the older lad spoke 
up— “No snares,” he said, “We just 
chase them until they are out of 
breath, then knock them over.” And 
that, our Bolton operative assures us, 
is exactly what, between them, they 
did. —Maclean’s. 


CANADA AT WAR 


(Continued from Page One) 


sion of Canada’s new tanks roared 
up and down in front o tthe factory 
in which they were produced, while 
at the Fairchild aircraft plant we 
watched huge bombers being const- 
ructed and assembled from start to 
finish, Then there was the memor- 
abe morning at Sorel where the mag: 
nificent new 25- pounder artillery guns 
are being forged and where corvettes 
are coming off the stocks at a rapid 
clip, all under direction of the now 
famous Simard brothers, whom we 
had the privilege of meeting. On 
to Valcartier, another name imperish- 
ably associated with the days of 1914- 
1918, where we met French-Candian 
officers and men and gained new in- 
sight into the military situation in 
Quebec, . Then to Debert, that great 
new military camp hewed from the 
backwoods of Nova Scotia, final train- 
ing point for Canadian troops bound 
for England. Lastly, Halifax, a 
story in itself, where the great pulse 
of Canada’s war activity beats at an 
acelerating pace, and where we rode 
one of the fifty American destroyers 
to sea and dined with the Commodore 
and his staff. To many other places 
we journeyed, many new acquaint- 
ances made, and stirring stories heard. 
Here a man from Dunkirk, another 
from the sunken Fraser, one who had 
just flown from England or another 
about to board a bomber for the Old 
Land, heroes of the Battle of Britain, 
and men from London who had lived 
and worked through the Blits. 

In succeedin garticles we will try 
to tell the story of Cananda’s army, 
navy and air force, of the turning 
wheels, and spinning lathes that are 
writing a new and glorious chapter 
in Canada’s history and which may 
revolutionize the Dominion’s entire 
future, Certain it is that since the 
fall of France a little more than a year 
ago, a miracle has been wrought. 
While Canadians fumed impatiently, 
the keen brains of Canada’s military 
and industrial leaders were working 
night and day, to draft the blueprint 
of Canada's magnified war machine 
and to set in motion the wheels that 
would make her contribution to the 
Empire cause one of which every 
Canadian may rightly be proud.

He: 


The help of every Canadian is needed for Victory. In these days 
of war the thoughtless selfish spender is a traitor to our war effort. 
A reduction in personal spending is now a vital necessity to re 
lieve the pressure for goods, to enable more and more lobour and 
materials to be diverted to winning the war. The all-out effort, 
which Canada must make, demands this self-denial of each of us.

Essex, June 22, 1941. 

P. B. Club— Dear Friends. Many ! 
thanks for your most welcome parcel 
which I received a few days ago, How 
thoughtful and kind you people are to 
us chaps over here, but I can honest- 
ly say that we really do appreciate 
all that you do for us. The parcels 
are worth their weight in gold, the 
peanut butter goes over in a big way 
with the boys, also the cookies. 

Under the conditions in which I am 
trying to write these few lines, I find 
it very hard to write a letter of inter- 
est to you people over there. Things 
are very lively here just at present, 
we are expecting big things to hap- 
pen and in my opinion we have noth- 
ing to fear on this island. We are 
ready and every human being will do 
their utmost, and our foe will receive 
a little more than he expects, as a 
matter of fact he will be on the re- 
ceiving end this time. 

Well friends must draw to a close 
as it is getting late, so must ring off 
and once again thanking one and all 
for all that you are doing. It raises 
our spirits when we know that you
